Some guys are just made for Switch, even if - technically - they're yet to appear on the platform or have an official release announced. Such is the case for 2D platformer Iconoclasts, an indie title that's been praised for its poignant storytelling and platforming gameplay that harks back to the glory days of SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis.
In a recent interview with Game Informer, developer Joakim Sandberg was posed the question of whether he'd considered bringing his indie hit to a platform so well suited to it. "That would be very fun," he replies. "I have a publisher for distribution, so I can’t talk about just anything." That sounds rather promising to us, and considering how well the game has been received on PC - and has already made the jump to PS4 and PS Vita - a jump to a console with such a pro-indie community seems an ideal fit.
You can check out the full interview in the link below, just watch out for spoilers if you haven't played the game yet. Oh, and here's a trailer from the PC release:
So there you have it. No official word, but a subtle wink towards a potential future port nevertheless. We've loved playing Iconoclasts on Steam so we really hope it gets the chance to shine again on the Switch eShop. Let us know what you think of Iconoclasts below...

KONJAK!!!!
I really hope it comes to switch!
Superb game. Would double dip.
"Developer of Iconoclasts"
"Some games are just made for Switch"
You're welcome.
I remember this game coming out at the same time as Celeste and I was pretty bummed that it was the one that didn't come out on Switch. Celeste is not my style of platformer.
Yes played this would be good on Switch
Looks great. Bring it on!
Like the look of it
You know what else is fun? Making fun of a great pile of money you could be making instead of making fun!
Pleeeeeeeease
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Make it happen! I really enjoyed playing it on PC, but I would play it again on Switch!
It’s on the Vita, it’ll be on the switch
Want to try this one!! Wish they will make it .
Yeah, I'll wait for a Switch version of this.
Pretty much the only reason why I’d buy a vita lol, but since they’re maybe teasing a release on switch, I’ll just wait.
It's actually a really good game, but after playing through it once, I had enough. I wouldn't double dip, but it's worth the time (and money) spent.
@RazumikhinPG LOL. I read that headline about 10 times before clicking in the article, just to see if I were missing something.
Absolutely fantastic game. Hope it does come, so many more folks can enjoy it.
I haven’t bought it on PS4 yet. A Switch port would be an immediate purchase though.
This looks great! Would def buy day-one.
Looks rad and it's on my PS4 wish list. I'd just rather play it on Switch so I can wait.
It’s a great game. I don’t think I’d double-dip on Switch since there are so many great indies I still need to buy, but I highly recommend it for first-timers. The room puzzles are very clever.
maybe the least imaginative video game trailer ever. reminds me of ocean games on the 8 bit systems
Wooow I didn't know about this one, but it looks great! Bring it to Switch!
@Syntaxkita It could also mean that any deals with Nintendo are probably in the hands of their publisher and they may not know the progress of negotiations themselves, if such are actually taking place.
Well they are literally telling the world they can't announce anything legally, which is as good as gold! Hoping for a collectors physical edition when it is announced! Celeste and others need one too, these games are truly awesome and it's amazing how many quality games there are for Switch already. I love my ps4 for movies and some games as well, but Switch and the portability is just too awesome for these 2d games.
They already confirmed the version in a one month old interview to another site.
Looks like Nintendolife is eating dust.
Switch version confirmed to the surprise of no one. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2018/04/10/iconoclasts-is-officially-coming-to-switch-with-new-difficulty-options-and-boss-rush.aspx
